Almost there

OK, we’ve had a crazy busy couple of days. The 18 inquiries that I mentioned yesterday has now grown to 30! We are truly humbled by the response. Thank you, everyone!

We spent most of yesterday trying to pull together a plan to make this all happen, and I think we’re almost there. Because of the positive comments from many of the prospective guests, we have decided to simply create a new Paypal account to process the transactions. Unfortunately, right after doing so, Paypal decided to lock that new account, pending confirmation that we are real people. Trying to prove residency when I haven’t been back to Canada since 2010 is a bit of a challenge.

“You want to see a utility bill with my name on it?”

“Are you kidding?”

Anyway, I think I have it worked out.

If you’ve contacted us and responded positively, we’ll send you the details on how you can secure one of the spots. Obviously we can’t accept all 30 so unfortunately, it’ll have to be on a first come, first served basis. We will send the registration links first to the people who definitely told us “we’re in!”

For record, we do appreciate everyone’s support. Truly!

Multitasking! ZTC’s locker covers… sanding, cleaning, painting. Even though they’re hidden by the salon cushions, we want them to look great.

You know, you could keep the kitty filled by offering these weeks on an ongoing basis — even just once or twice a month. If you ever decided to sail around the world, you could take on a different couple for each leg of the trip. Extra hands on passages are never a bad thing.
